About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

Not splitting means not wasting energy and causing division by attacking those on your side even if you disagree with their tactics:

One of the central principles in the Hong Kong pro-democracy protest movement was:

Do Not Split
(In Chinese: 不割蓆)

When you are part of a decentralized movement against an authoritarian power, it is critical to respect the roles others play, even when you do not agree with all of their actions.

Sometimes you really do have to pick a side.

Now is such a time.

It’s that simple.

Perhaps white liberals and progressives have not gotten the memo that the rest of us are sick and tired of them YAPPING.

A bunch of fake ass battle cries and tough talk about what they’re gonna do.

That’s all they’re doing. They have NO motion.

The most galling fact about obsolete Democratic spending is that instead of helping build up a center-to-left ecosystem, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭-𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚.

Most Dem ads go to local TV news. They are putting billions of dollars in the pockets of Fox, Sinclair, Nexstar, etc!

Also… that’s 4 WNBA MVPs, 3 DPOYs, 3 titles and (likely) 2 Finals MVPs for Aja Wilson.

She’s not even 30 yet.

It is that, but it's a specific subcategory involving famous women from the entertainment industry and extremely wealthy clients, usually centered around major international elite events like the Cannes Film Festival, Monaco Grand Prix, etc... or so I've read

So the protester showed up at the 930 show for Kamala last night. I’m glad they weren’t at my show because I might be up in the jailhouse right now a bunch of fucking losers.

At some point, they'll stop doping him up and dragging him out to public events and just let him die. Then use that to go after everyone who celebrates his timely demise, refuses to mourn, and has anything truthful to say about him.

This Nobel Peace Prize winner seems to be a horrible fcking person. Every new piece of information about her is worse than the previous one.

Unless the point was to tell him that you're less deserving than even one of the shittiest human beings currently walking the Earth, wtf is up with this pick?
